We're getting close to the end! With a little over 24 hours to go, we're inching closer to that sweet, sweet, $100k mark. We've also crossed the finish line on the final stretch goal, which is a set of prosthetics and rules for zombie bite amputations from our friend Dale Critchley.
Haven't pulled the trigger on this yet? Never fear. We'll have our prelaunch store on BackerKit up and running shortly after the campaign ends. You'll also be able to pick up additional add-ons if you backed during the Kickstarter! I can't wait to share more of this book with you in the coming months.

Hi friends!
We're zooming towards our final stretch goal, and I'm excited to see where this thing ends up. Thanks again for everything you've made possible during the campaign. Today, I wanted to give you a peek at the printed models and provide a little more detail since there have been some questions about their size.
The five miniatures included in Resin and STL form
This group of five miniatures comes with three medium-sized creatures with 25mm bases and two large-sized creatures with 50mm bases. You can get these five in .STL format or as resin printed miniatures. They include the Zombear, the bloater, the zombie troll, a standard zombie (carrying a pack), and the millite.
For reference, the zombie horde .STL
The zombie horde model isn't available in resin, but you can print yourself with the .STL file. The base comes in at 100mm and fits comfortably with 32mm height models. I intentionally had them slightly undersized, allowing you to enlarge the model to a 150mm base without the individual zombies becoming oversized. We've had a lot of fun using these to represent the zombie horde stat blocks we include in the bestiary.

600% funded + Stretch Goal Rundown

Hi friends!
The response so far has been excellent, and we are so appreciative of your support. I wanted to say thank you again for making this project possible while also going over the stretch goals we've hit since we last offered an update.
Stretch Goals
Since I last wrote, we've smashed through three stretch goals! For a lot of you, the most exciting of those are the two additional subclasses for the Animist Class: The Promethean Fire and Eukrasia Catalysts. We'll hopefully have these available for playtesting soon. We also added some additional magic items, and we're going to release all of our items from the book into Community Commons. Similar to what Wizards of the Coast has done with the SRD, you'll be able to use these creations in your own commercial or non-commercial projects if you wish.
So what's left? At $80,000 we hit one of the stretch goals I'm most excited about. Along with our magical items, we'll also include four fantasy prosthetics for zombie apocalypse survivors. Inspired by The Walking Dead, we're including optional rules for what happens when a limb is bitten and a character faces the tough choice of losing a limb or becoming undead.
In addition to these optional rules, we'll have four well-designed, thematic prosthetics created by Dale Critchey. Dale is the author of Limitless Heroics, the ultimate tome for including disabilities and neurodivergence into 5th Edition D&D. Dale is also putting the finishing touches on the first-ever Braille translation of the 5E basic rules. He's the perfect collaborator for this part of the project.
Projects We Love
In this Kickstarter project, Cabal offers you two books. A book that orbits around the concept of Heists, and a book of wondrous alchemy and treacherous poisons. Both books have dozens of subclasses, items, optional rules along with thematic dungeons and monsters.
Dungeons & Heists is an expansion that introduces new classes, subclasses, items, spells, and monsters that will spice up your game in the right direction. The book also covers group mechanics for heists, party-wide stealth mechanics, and a brand-new dungeon, and heist scenarios to test your abilities against ancient defense systems, fully compatible with 5e. Alchemy & Poisoncraft offers content for every aspect of the game from game master tools to various player options such as a brand new alchemy crafting system.
Funded in 1 Hour! + Stretch Goals

Hello friends,
Thanks to your support, Zander's Guide to Zombie Hunting funded in exactly one hour! I'm so excited to bring this project to life, and I look forward to seeing how far we can take this.
Not only did we fund right away, but we also surpassed our first stretch goal in just a few hours. Every backer will get a free copy of Zander's Guide to Zombie Hunting converted to the Shard VTT!
So what's next?
Our custom class, the Animist, gets a new subclass. This one is going to be a lot of fun if you've ever wanted an archetype based on building your own Frankenstein's monster that has elemental magic at their disposal.
